Season 1 of IN AN INSTANT, the ABC show I produced the recreations for, has finished airing. You can now check out all of the episodes streaming on HULU. It was a fun project to be a part of. I was able to direct 2 episodes: "Grizzly Bear Attack" and "The Shootout" and had a blast working with an amazing cast and crew.

Alright, so episode 3 of "IN AN INSTANT" is premiering this Saturday night, March the 14th on ABC. It plays at 8pmCST/9pmEST. Though I acted as producer on all of the recreations episodes, I was also the director on this particular episode. It was one of the more challenging undertakings I've been a part of and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Lot of great folks came together to make this extraordinary tale of survival about Johann and Jenna Otter. Tune in!

So, as I mentioned previously, I spent the 2nd half of last year producing the recreations for a new series on ABC that is now officially called "IN AN INSTANT." The show had it's 2 night premiere last week on March 6th and March 7th. The first episode was entitled "Alaskan Plane Crash" and the 2nd was called "Rush Hour Disaster" which dealt with the 35W Bridge collapse in Minneapolis.

The show did well on Friday, then retained it's audience on Saturday and was the highest rated show in it's time slot. Not a bad start!

This past fall I was fortunate to be hired by Committee Films to produce all of the recreations for a new docudrama for ABC entitled "Moment of Truth." In all we did 7 two hour episodes. I produced them all and directed two of them. It was a joy to work with a lot of talented cast and crew and am looking forward to seeing the final product of these amazing stories.

So I've finally started getting some of my short films online and today it is EDEN. Eden was a fun film to make and involved the talents of a ton of folks. It played multiple film festivals gathering awards along the way. You can check it out HERE and share if you like it.

So after way too long, I finally put my 2011 short film, "Good Morning, Beautiful" online. It is a short I'm very proud of and I was lucky enough to travel the world with it. It made it's world premiere at SXSW in 2011 and went onto screen and earn awards at multiple festivals including Fantasia and Sitges.

This fall I got to produce and direct a new show set to premiere on ABC this march. The title is still to be announced, but it is a limited series of 7 two hour episodes. Each episode tells a different extraordinary true life story of survival. I directed 2 episodes (including working with a grizzly bear and getting to live a childhood dream of filming a shootout!) and produced all 7.

There were a ton of amazing stories of remarkable people and it was an honor to tell the stories. Look for it!

So this Fall I was very lucky to work on a few promising TV shows. The first one is about Monsters, Myths, and Legends and will air on H2 in the future. I worked as the producer for the recreations and directed a few really fun episodes...including an exorcism!

I was lucky enough to spend much of the summer producing a made for TV movie about....SASQUATCH! In addition to that I produced and directed the reenactments of season 3 of America Unearthed which has now begun airing.

Look for the Squatch movie sometime this year and check out America Unearthed on H2 now.

If you are interested in hearing me babble about making my weirdo art horror films and hear two other great artists discuss their work...please come on down. It is a part of Target's Free Thursday program...so it is completely FREE!

The new season of America Unearthed is currently airing on H2. I was lucky enough to have been brought back to direct some of the reenactments as well as produce them all. It is always a fun and challenging job and this year we really created some unique show opens and reenactments. Check it out Saturdays at 9p EST.

Last year I was lucky enough to be the UPM for an exceptional feature film entitled Kumiko: The Treasure Hunter. It is a film by the Zellner Brothers and produced by Chris Ohlson. It was a remarkable experience and a great film.

The film is currently making the rounds on the festival circuit and has thus far premiered in competition at Sundance, as well as screening at Berlinale and SXSW. Look out for this as it makes its way to you this year.

Extremely excited to announce that my latest short film, EDEN, will be screening on Tuesday, October 1st at the Mall of America before the John Carpenter classic ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK as a part of The Theaters at Mall of America and Cinemetallica's presentation of John Carpenter Classics all this month at MOA. Eden will screen at 7:30pm immediately following Snake Plissken saving the president from New York City Federal Maximum Security Prison. I am a HUGE fan of John Carpenter and this film in particular...so this is a thrilling event for me. Hope to see you there.

Folks in NYC, you can check out EDEN on Saturday, October 5th at 1:30pm as a part of the Genart Film Festival. Tickets are available for purchase HERE. The film is screening at the AMC Loews Village in front of the feature film "The Warrior and the Savior."

Happy to announce that EDEN received the BEST HORROR SHORT AWARD at the Arizona Underground Film Festival. Want to thank everyone at the festival for having us and also the jury for selecting the film as their favorite. Pretty cool for sure.

I'm excited to announce some more upcoming festival screenings for my latest short film, EDEN. It will be screening this Friday the 13th of September as a part of the Arizona Underground Film Festival. I was lucky enough to screen a previous film, GOOD MORNING, BEAUTIFUL there in 2011 and I'm honored to be back.

I've very happy to announce that my latest short film, EDEN, will be making it's L.A. premiere at the Hollyshorts Film Festival which takes place August 15-22. Screening date and time to be announced soon.

So last year I was lucky enough to produce all of the show opens/teases and reenactments for the History Channel Show, America Unearthed. I was also fortunate enough to be able to direct a handful of the episodes. I have finally gotten around to putting them up online. You can see them HERE.

Figured as we are now in production on Season 2 of America Unearthed, it was time to show some from the inaugural season.

So I got some exciting news this past week as I was selected as one of three winners of the 2013 McKnight Media Artists Fellowship Grant. You can read more about it HERE. Thanks to IFP MN, the McKnight Foundation, and the jurors and congratulations to the other two fellows, Susan Marks and Todd Melby.

Picture has been locked on EDEN, and I am now deep into color correction and sound design and VFX work. The film should be completed within the next 2 weeks and has come a long way due to the excellent work of so many talented individuals. I'm excited to get the film out there.

I was lucky enough to be able to produce some reenactments for a history channel documentary called "Holy Grail in America" a few years back. One of the more difficult, yet rewarding jobs I've had. Well, in the last few months I was brought back by the same company, Committee Films, to produce reenactments for a new series they have coming up for the History Channel. I was also lucky enough to direct a few that were right up my alley. It was 7 shoot days in some tough conditions, but had a great time with a great cast and crew. The show will begin airing in December and I think the reenactments should be a fun addition to the show.

I couldn't have been more pleased to be a part of such an amazing festival again and was bummed I couldn't make the trip to Spain.

I was also very honored to be back at some other festivals I have screened at prior as well as some new ones. The film screened as a part of the Mile High Horror Festival, The Telluride Horror Show, Celluloid Screams, the Twin Cities Film Festival, and the San Pedro Film Festival. The film was able to screen in its native stereoscopic 3D at most of the fests.

It was nice to see the short find a home over the year. I'm sure I'll put it online sometime in the coming months.
